----Needless to say, it all got pulled off without a hitch. Good for the Major, Kkkkkkkinda for Beatrice. A part of her was filled with excitement and glee at the sight of all the chaos, the mayhem, and a pissed-off Sanji (who would make for a challenge), but another part of her was still with Bakura, who became a casualty as a result of her own selfishness and foolishness.
So now, she would have to do some damage control. But she's going to come off as arrogant and haughty as ever, letting out a loud cackle when she finally addresses Sanji himself:
"Hoh! Quite a change of heart you're undergoing, Sanji. I wonder...is this the real you?"

He straightened up and threw back his shoulders, glaring. "I won't hurt you. Come at me if you will but I'm not going to fight you." It was said through clenched teeth, but the anger raging inside him went completely contrary to his nature as the love-cook. He still refused on principle to hurt women, but it was getting harder to control the surface impulses and stick to his ethic. He hadn't harmed a single female so far. If Sanji wanted to keep his head, he had to maintain that tiny shred of civility in the face of unnatural rage.

Indeed. She can see the unbridled rage struggling to force its way out of Sanji's subconscious. And she's going to make a game out of it. To forget. To forget all that she has done.
She will test the limits of his restraint, woman though she is. She snaps her fingers once more, and out come her spears of light---seven of them.
"Lock away that rage, that anger, all you like. It will only make your itch harder to scratch. Don't be silly, Sanji. At their core, humans are animals, and they will give in to their primal instincts ( ... )

"Arise, Shoulder Towers!"
...And with that, two gigantic towers made of light are summoned, glowing brightly as they charge up energy to unleash rapid fire salvos of arrows, swords, and stakes to keep Sanji away from her.
But, she manages a chortle at his remark. "Hah! I'm afraid you have the wrong impression. I was interested in him only for his intellect. But, as it turns out, he is a coward just like the rest who fancy themselves as worldly."

"Oh," Sanji said in response, gritting his teeth on his latest cigarette, "then you won't mind if I go and find the fat bastard and put my foot through his face." Good, a target would be good, something he could unleash all this pent-up rage towards that wasn't his crew. First, the towers, though, and they were not going to be easy. If he focused on one, he had the other at his back, and simultaneously dodging projectiles from both of them while moving in to kick them directly was stretching him to the limits of his agility and speed. It was exhilarating, though. He hadn't ( ... )

"Arise! Giant Soldier Battle Line!"
...Thusly, about ten golems come to save the day, charging at Sanji as he proceeds to make his way to the towers. Beatrice can't help but cackle a bit at all the blood flying from Sanji's person as he gets struck by the smaller, faster projectiles---he reminds her of a bull seeing nothing but red. Perhaps the sight of his own blood was angering him? Amusing.
"Oh, no. My business with him is done and will never happen a second time. He may have sparked my cooperation at one point, but he also sparked my anger by crossing a very fine line of mine. Tell me, Sanji...are you willing to kill a man for the sake of a child?"

"It's never so simple, Miss Beatrice. You know that, right?" He wiped some of the blood from the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand. "I have no problems killing someone, sometimes they don't even have to deserve it. But it's pointless to justify it by saying it's for anyone. If you're going to kill, it's going to be because you want to ( ... )

She watches as her golems get kicked into shards of energy, and her tower toppling to the ground. But Sanji was getting more and more battered and beaten, and that was enough. He had limits. He was only human.
...That comforted her, in a sense. Because it confirmed the fact that she, too, could still live as a human in spite of her previous endless existence, as befitted her former title of "Endless Witch." She could be human and actually exist without having to rely on the fickle sense of belief of mortals in beings like herself.
She was real here. Flesh and blood. As much as it limited her, it freed her at the same time. Staved off the loneliness, the distance. Fighting with Sanji like this...
...But yes. She had wanted to kill Keith Anyan before. She wanted to kill the Major now.
For revenge. Anyan reminded her of the hell that Kinzo had put her through; the Major reminded her of the hell that Lambdadelta had been ( ... )
